Hi to all,
I would need to save the information I collect in a hidden field while customizing a page in a new CPT.
when I save the form, I would need to create and save the entry in another CPT currently saved in a different custom table
with the hook rwmb_after_save_post I save the data correctly, but I don't know how to save the data of the single field in the custom table of another CPT.

Thanks

Hi Marco,

You can create a function hook to the action rwmb_after_save_post and use some functions below:
- Create a new post with WP function wp_insert_post(), it will return the new post ID
  https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_insert_post/
- Use MB public API update to update the post meta to the custom table based on the new post ID
